The park will offer over 400 acres of developable and saleable area. Flexible zoning allows for a mix of business uses including corporate offices, research and development facilities, prestige manufacturing and traditional business and industrial operations. Within the heart of the Park is a 255 acre environmental reserve which will contain recreational trails allowing employees and citizens to enjoy the natural surroundings of the area. The Hanlon Creek Business Park will be completely served by municipal water and sewers, open ditch storm, paved roads, street lighting, hydro, natural gas and telephone.
